(135,425 posts)And let's not forget the mysteries of the woman boldly wearing WHITE PANTS and swimming or bicycling -- with a huge, dare I say, shit-eating grin-- at "that time of the month!"
Those commercials were aimed like a laser at a target audience that knew what they meant--everyone else who hadn't yet gone through "sex ed" was left to wonder.
That said, I agree with you about unseemly detail in ads--the toilet paper market must be a hotbed of competiton....I wouldn't know; we buy the single sheet, thousand sheets per roll cheap stuff. Hell, where I grew up, "toilet paper," when it was available, was the consistency of tracing paper if you were unlucky, and waxed paper if you were lucky...no "enjoying the go" with that stuff.
The dingleberry bears is obviously a riff on "Do bears shit in the woods?" couched in a wholesome, family-bear atmosphere.
That whole "Enjoy the Go" theme is a bit bizarre, too....there's nothing like a good crap, but damn, since when was it de rigueur to SPEAK of such things in polite company?
